Senator Elizabeth Warren accused Republicans of attempting to break and rig laws to maintain control of the House of Representatives ahead of the 2025 midterm elections. She emphasized that Republicans are manipulating electoral rules to seize power, a claim echoed by California Governor Gavin Newsom. Newsom highlighted California's upcoming special election on November 4, 2025, which will allow voters to democratically select congressional district maps, a move he described as a response to unfair practices by Republicans and former President Donald Trump. This initiative aims to create Democratic-favorable districts and counteract what Democrats characterize as GOP gerrymandering. The ballot measure has already attracted substantial financial support, raising $6.2 million, with significant contributions from the House Majority PAC and Newsom's campaign committee. The effort reflects a broader Democratic strategy to respond aggressively to Republican redistricting tactics in the midterms.
